Goodbye Sony
Well, it looks like Sony has gone totally rogue: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4400148.stm. And I will not deal with a company that has gone that bad.
So, I will be looking for something other than the next generation of the P800/P900/P910 line for my phone upgrade.
And I will not buy a Vaio, despite being the coolest looking laptops out there.
And I will not be buying any Sony CDs.
And I hope that Sony will be up in court and fined for breaking the Computer Misuse laws. Because they need to be told that it isn't their customers who are the criminals, they are.

I'm conflicted on Sony Ericsson, whether I should consider them Sony or Ericsson.
But definitely no Sony CDs for me now. I think most of my CDs lately have been from small goth, industrial, and electronic labels anyway, so a Sony-free life won't be too much skin off my nose.

One thing I have to remember on restarting this Windows PC is to start up the task manager, hunt down the process named EPMWOR~1.EXE, and kill it. Otherwise, the belt printer currently sitting on serial port 2 gets unhappy as it gets a garbage packet of data sent to it every 5 seconds.
Said executable is presumably supposed to do something useful when I plug my phone into the cradle. But I've not yet worked out what stops working when I kill it.
(And anyway - the software has been told where the cradle is. Why is it polling my serial ports as well?)
